Obama the Supreme Negotiator

I recall during the presidential campaign how now President Obama raised the noble idea of bringing world peace through better relations and negotiation with organizations like the Taliban, and nations like North Korea and Iran. Many warned him that this had been tried time and time again. I agree it never hurts to talk and is best to keep communication channels open. But, the President also have to understand the cost of appearing weak. He also has to understand that some leaders, organizations, and countries cannot be trusted. How many times has North Korea agreed one day only to disagree the next? President Obama should also listen to his commanders on the ground who have reported time and time again that Iran is meddling in Iraq and attempting to end any peace that the US and other soldiers have fought to establish.

Obama's latest offer to Iran was met, I can only imagine, with laughter. The present leadership within Iran has no interest in being "friends" with the West, especially with the USA.

Experience as a community organizer, a short stint as a Freshman Senator, a degree from a notorious school, and the ability to give a great presentation with the aid of a teleprompter does not qualify one to be President of the United States. I hope we have better choices on both sides of the aisle in another 4 years. Hopefully Obama doesn't socialize America and negotiate us into dire straights between now and then...
